Since Teriyaki Experience was founded in 1986, the Toronto-based company has grown from a local Japanese quick-service concept to a 135-unit international chain. As consumers around the world become increasingly health conscious, the company’s low-fat, made-to-order offerings have found success at home, as well as in the Middle East, Europe, Central America, South Africa and the Caribbean. The chain has recently begun expanding into the United States and has plans to grow its presence in the country in the coming years.
